I have found out what the problem was, I was actually PXE booting on an ISO image of Debian Live which was made to be burnt to a CD so actually it booted but didn't auto-login. I am now using the correct Debian Live network files and it works like a charm.
Many thanks for you guys, you are simplyfying my life for disaster recovery!

user/live is correct and ought to work.
